Smile ....

Hi there.

There is a new challenge started today over at Bizzy Becs Store Blog for those who wish to join 

in.   Today I would like to share with you my card for the challenge.

I have been pondering over this die for a while, unsure how to highlight at it's best.  I am quite happy with how it has turned out, especially once I added some accents in the corners by way of some Twinklets Diamond Dust.  Sadly photo doesn't do the  diamond dust justice.

My background was created with watercolour crayons using a gelly plate - a new and fun technique learnt recently through a friend - Debra over at One Card at a Time and the leaf has been cut from green cardstock and paper pieced into the diecut rose.

supplies used:

Hero Arts  Infinity Dies - Rectangle

Sue Wilson Die - Rose Flower Square

Pink Fresh Die - Smile

Stamping Up retired embossing folder - Vintage Wallpaper

Stamping up Stamp Set - Teeny Tiny Sentiments

Twinklets Diamond Dust

Hero Arts - White Embossing Powder

Thanks for looking, until next time

Happy Crafitng

Christmas Joy Shaker....

Today I am sharing my first Christmas Card for 2016.

I have used one of my favourite go to dies from Avery Elle - Wonky Stitches.  A new die to my collection is from Poppy Stamps and is called Joy Tag and a favourite for Christmas Memory Box Die - Shimmering Snowflakes.

To create my shaker card I cut the tag die twice, once in cardstock and the other from white foam sheeting.  They were then adhered together and a piece of acetate added underneath.  I then cut away the area under the tag from the die cut base added my red and green bling and some glass beads, then sealed it up. 

The shimmering snowflake die cut was painted with matt medium and then sprinkled with Diamond Dust, allowed to dry and then layered together and a small pearl placed on top.

There are lots of new goodies been added to Bizzy Becs online store, so pop on over and check them out.

Thanks for dropping by, until next time - Happy Crafting

Make a Wish...

Hi popping in today to share with you a card I made using a Stamp and matching Die from Avery Elle called "Bring on the Cake".   Also used from Avery Elle is the fabulous "Wonky Stitches" Die. 

(a new favourite)  

I have coloured the cake on a plate with my copics and sprinkled the top the cake with "Twinklets Diamond Dust" and the sentiment has been stamped with "Archival Ink by Ranger".

The lace,flowers and rose leaves  are old stock from Bizzy Becs and the clear bling is from Doodlebugs and are called Sprinkles.

Hope that you are having a wonderful week.

Bye for now and happy crafting.
